Product details
Overview
CY62256VLL-70ZC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Kbit (32K × 8) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 70 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It operates across 2.7–3.6 V and supports commercial (0°C to 70°C) and industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges. Used in embedded controllers and legacy industrial systems requiring non-volatile SRAM interface compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256VLL-70ZC datasheet, CY62256VLL-70ZC pinout, CY62256VLL-70ZC application, or CY62256VLL-70ZC equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 70 ns read cycle time, ≤5 µA standby current (ISB2) at 3.6 V, Tri-state I/O control via OE/CE/WE, and narrow SOIC-28 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY62256VLL-70ZC implements a fully static 32K × 8 memory array with asynchronous parallel interface logic. Its dual active-Low enable architecture-CE for chip select and OE for output gating-enables seamless memory expansion without external address latching. Write operations are controlled exclusively by WE timing relative to CE.
Power management relies on automatic CE-driven power-down: when CE is HIGH, ICC drops to ≤5 µA (ISB2, commercial), reducing consumption by >99% versus active mode. All inputs tolerate –0.5 V to VCC + 0.5 V, and outputs drive ±2.1 mA while maintaining VOH ≥2.4 V and VOL ≤0.4 V at VCC = 2.7 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 Kbit (32,768 × 8 bits); supports byte-wide data bus without multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 70 ns max; guarantees deterministic read latency under worst-case VCC = 2.7 V and TA = 70°C. |
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V; compatible with 3.3 V logic systems and tolerant of brown-out conditions down to 2.7 V. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 0.1 µA typ. / 5 µA max (commercial); enables ultra-low-power retention in battery-backed systems. |
| Operating Current (ICC) | 11 mA typ. / 30 mA max at f = 1/tRC; defines thermal budget for continuous read/write cycling. |
| Input/Output Voltage Levels | TTL-compatible: VIH ≥2.2 V, VIL ≤0.8 V; VOH ≥2.4 V @ –1 mA, VOL ≤0.4 V @ 2.1 mA. |
| Package | 28-pin narrow SOIC (ZC suffix); 300 mil body width, standard footprint for legacy PCB rework. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin narrow SOIC (300 mil), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit unidirectional address bus; selects one of 32,768 memory locations. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Tri-state I/O lines shared for read data output and write data input; high-impedance when OE or CE is HIGH. |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary device select; forces automatic power-down and disables all outputs when HIGH. |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls I/O direction: LOW enables output drivers; HIGH places I/O pins in high-Z input state. |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Initiates write cycle when CE is also LOW; no internal latching-timing referenced to rising edge of terminating signal. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into address/data lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 70 ns access time with full voltage/temperature coverage | Guaranteed tAA ≤70 ns across 2.7–3.6 V and 0°C to 70°C, enabling real-time deterministic memory access in control loops. |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to ≤5 µA (ISB2) without external control logic-critical for battery-backed data retention. |
| TTL-compatible interface | Eliminates level-shifting components when interfacing with legacy microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, Z80, 68K families). |
| Tri-state I/O with independent OE/CE control | Supports multi-drop bus architectures and clean memory expansion without bus contention during deselect. |
| CMOS process with low dynamic power | Optimizes speed/power trade-off: 30 mA max ICC at 70 ns vs. typical 11 mA, minimizing thermal load in dense layouts. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Medical Device Data Logger |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stores real-time sensor readings and configuration parameters in programmable logic controllers with no refresh overhead. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous parallel SRAM providing zero-wait-state access for microcontroller firmware executing cyclic scan logic.

Use Scenario: Captures ECG waveform samples and patient metadata in portable diagnostic equipment during power-loss events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-refreshing data buffer retaining critical diagnostics when main power fails and backup capacitor sustains VCC ≥2.7 V. Use Value: Data retention at VCC = 1.4 V with ICCDR ≤3 µA enables reliable storage during brown-out; narrow SOIC fits compact handheld form factor. |
| Legacy Avionics Interface Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |
|
Use Scenario: Interfaces MIL-STD-1553B host processors with discrete I/O peripherals using standardized 8-bit parallel handshake protocol. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Static RAM acting as command/response FIFO between flight computer and actuator driver ASICs. Use Value: TTL-compatible I/O eliminates level translators; tHZOE ≤25 ns ensures fast bus release for deterministic multi-master arbitration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS62C256AL-70QLI | Same 32K × 8 organization, 70 ns speed, but uses 2.7–5.5 V supply and has higher ISB2 (10 µA max). | Broader VCC range suits mixed-voltage designs; higher standby current limits battery-backed runtime. | Select if system requires 5 V tolerance and can accommodate 2× standby leakage. |
| ON Semiconductor MC68HC11E9CP | Not a drop-in replacement: integrated MCU with on-chip 512 B RAM; no external parallel interface. | Replaces discrete SRAM only in new designs where firmware consolidation justifies architectural change. | Choose only for greenfield projects migrating from external memory to SoC-based control. |
Compared with IS62C256AL-70QLI, CY62256VLL-70ZC offers lower standby current and tighter 2.7–3.6 V regulation-ideal for 3.3 V-only systems. Unlike MC68HC11E9CP, it preserves hardware modularity and avoids firmware re-architecture.

FAQ
Is CY62256VLL-70ZC compatible with 5 V TTL systems?
No. CY62256VLL-70ZC operates strictly at 2.7–3.6 V and is not 5 V tolerant. Its inputs accept VIH ≥2.2 V and VIL ≤0.8 V, matching 3.3 V LVTTL levels-not 5 V TTL. Direct connection to 5 V buses risks overvoltage damage unless level translation is used.
What is the minimum VCC required to retain data?
Data retention is guaranteed down to VDR = 1.4 V, with ICCDR ≤3 µA (commercial) at that voltage. This allows use with supercapacitor or lithium coin-cell backup circuits sustaining VCC ≥1.4 V during main power loss.
Does CY62256VLL-70ZC require an external clock or refresh circuitry?
No. It is a fully static CMOS SRAM with no clock input and zero refresh requirement. Data remains valid indefinitely as long as VCC stays within specification and CE remains HIGH during retention mode.
Can OE and CE both be tied LOW permanently for simplified interface?
Yes, but only if the system does not share the data bus with other devices. Tying OE and CE LOW continuously enables read/write operations without external control logic, though it disables automatic power-down and increases standby current from µA to mA range.
